“Priority Boarding customers will continue to enjoy two free carry-on bags. All other (non-priority) customers will be allowed one free (small) carry-on bag, and those who wish to check in a second bigger 10kg bag can do from €/£8 at the time of booking.

“This new policy will speed up the boarding and cut flight delays.”

Passengers will still be charged the new rates even if you’ve already booked your flights but do not fly until November 1 or after.

The airline has blamed the number of people turning up at the gate with a second bag to put in the hold for free.
